I'm 57 grew up in a strict Catholic home. My dad always said you can read any book, watch any tv show, listen to any music you want, as long as you never loose your way with God. Great chat & recipe!!

Start a book club. Everyone can read and discuss once a month ?

So I’m 64 years old and I am reading the Bible for the first time! I am also listening to The Book of God on Audible. And I am reading a thriller called The Only One Left by Riley Sager. I have never been pressured to read the Bible, I just felt like it’s time, and I am enjoying it? Is that the right word for it? Enjoying? The ups and downs of emotions is crazy! I love thrillers and do not enjoy spicy romance books. I guess I’m a 1 pepper spice girl, in my food and books! Enjoy your videos! Have a great week!

I love the Classic books. One of my favorite is To Kill a Mockingbird. And the second book is good also.

First of all, thank you for talking about the Christian guilt. I would love to hear more!❤ 2nd, Behind her eyes was 🫨🫨 mind-blown!! 😂❤

I read Karen Kingsbury books. They are Christian books and very very good. Baxter family books are really good and many of them

I'm a librarian so I'm always reading. Psychological fiction is my favorite! Behind Her Eyes was a good book. Read The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and B.A. Paris writes a good thriller too. I love when people get excited about books and reading!

You HAVE got to start up a virtual book club. Do it!!! ❤

I was a wee child .... About 68 years ago, my Dad used to cook corn meal mush!! 😋 He just sliced it and fried it in a skillet with butter......I remember it being very good!!

Behind Her Eyes freaked me out! I was freaked out again when I watched the series. I’m with you. I don’t do the steamy stuff. I just don’t get the point in reading that. I really want to read The Lying Woods now. I read on my kindle and check out the digital books from my library. I love reading.

When I was much younger the bookstore was a favorite place of mine. My Dad always laughed to himself when I went in and most of the time never failed to come out with something. Today I read mostly cozy mysteries.

Loved Yours Truly

*Where the Crawdads Sing* was a great book to me. I recommend it.👍🏼

I love to read. I can sit and read for hours and hours. I love all kinds of books

I totally understand... I'm the same way. Like if I catch myself singing a non-Christian song. Or once in a while, I let out a 4-letter word... I read a lot of Christian books, though, but even then, I didn't finish certain ones.

I always need a good book recommendation for my book club. Thanks a lot. 💕😀

I’m always reading something,all my life. I like mystery’s. Nelson DeMille is a great storyteller. I’m definitely going to check out some of your choices. Thx.

My daughter asked me how I can enjoy reading so much, and honestly it started in childhood just trying to escape home life into a happier safe world. Now as an adult I still follow that rule, is this a world/community I want to be a part of? So I tend to stick to clean and sweet books, I know some people say a downside to books is they're unrealistic or cliche but I live for that lol I like Christian romance books too because they contain so much encouragement especially when the characters are wrestling with their faith. Recently I stopped reading a book when my husband saw me make faces and he said, "Looks like you don't want to be there and part of that world..." lol ETA I'm currently reading Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan, The One Who Promised Forever by Tara Grace Ericson is a Christian romance about a marriage that is on the brink of divorce and my gosh I highlighted so much and cried reading the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters but I rated it 5 stars

I am currently hooked on mysteries. Going through Sue Grafton's series of titles starting with A and ending with Z. Like a book that wraps up in 300 - 400 pages. Thanks so much for the book reviews, and I'd like more, please, lol. Also, hooked on all your shopping vids.

I have little time to read these days, but I did make reading the bible every day my goal for this year and I've been faithful to do it. 😊 I'm glad you've discovered your passion for reading and I appreciate the book recommendations❣

Thanks for sharing you look beautiful ❤

Do you like cozy mysteries? If so, I suggest Tamar Myers, (Pennsyvannia dutch mystey) Diane Mott Davidson ( a caterer) , Lillian Jackson Braun ( The Cat Who books), or fiction, Gap Creek by Robert Morgan, Adriana Trigiani (most recent book, The good left undone) for a few. Retired Librarian......

Went to the library and checked out Behind Her Eyes. So excited to read it!!

You “made” me just buy Behind Her Eyes!!! I’ve read 43 so far this year. Love your recommendations

I am part of a book club. We just finished The Women by Kristin Hannah. It was so good! Just started reading The Distance Between Us.

Just stumbled across your channel. You have the greatest personality! My favorite book I have read recently is "the sanitorium" by Sarah Pearse. Fast paced suspenseful whodunnit.

Love author, Katherine Center books!

From a librarian...Read Megan Miranda, Lucy Foley, Riley Sager, some Jeneva Rose. Freida McFadden.

Ohhhh I'm so excited to hear your review on behind her eyes. I have that on my bookshelf! I just finished just the nicest couple and devoured it in a day. Every moment the kids were distracted I was reading it! I really love Lucy Score books but they might be too spicy for you based on what you've shared but I love everything she writes. I also love anything written by Brittainy Cherry

I can relate to you. Currently we are in Miami hospital and my husband now has terminal cancer so please send prayers 🙏.

Just read “someone like you” by Karen kingsbury. Soooo good

Thank You for the Book Recommendations. Have you ever read The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah? It’s very good. It’s about WW2. It’s fiction, but it transports you to what it may have been like to be in France during that time. This book turned me on to reading again. She is now one of my favorite Authors. Also her book Winter Garden is very good too.

God does care about what we fill our mind with. It can lead us in the wrong direction. I used to read fiction that I thought wasn’t too bad. But then I thought, would I want my child to think that these relationships are normal. Are they the kind of books that uplift your spirit? There are a lot of Christian authors of fiction. No “spicy” in them. I would suggest Frank Peretti. He is well know for his books “this present darkness” and “piercing the darkness”. Very suspense filled. My favorite that he wrote is “the prophet”. He also writes children’s books. Check him out. And please be carful about filling your mind with ungodly relationships. ❤

I have been stuck on the Amish love stories the last couple years. A friend gave me one of hers to read while we were on vacation and on the way home a was taking the book she was reading. lol. Beverly Lewis is my favorite but I have been branching out to others now.

I just got Behind Her Eyes on kindle. I love books and reading. I have Kindle unlimited and Audiobook and the You Version Bible app. Between all of these I believe I’ve read 70 books so far this year. I’m also reading through the Bible in a year by three different ways. I love your reviews. 😮😊❤

The Lying Woods I just bought too 😂

One of my favorite books is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Schaefer and Barrows. It’s got a little bit of history woven into the story-makes the story believable.

Those things that look like bamboo is called cane. You eat it. People from the islands and South America know what it is. It is really good. 😋

Loved the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

we had the same meal last week from hellofresh sooo yummy

I really like colleen coble for christian mystery/suspense. Its not preachy and does usually have a romance( but nothing to make you blush). Some will keep you up to finish them , though 😂 . Also usually have a strong but gentle female main character. If your interested, I can definitely recommend a few to get started. 📚 ❤😄

I am always on the lookout for good books. Some of my favorite Authors: Agatha Christie Krista Davis ( she has 3 series: The Diva series, Paws and Claws, and Pen and Ink )

OMG Meghan after watching your video today I started watching Behind Her Eyes and will probably sleep with the lights on I think I will stick with Goodnight Moon Love you on Utube please never stop Maureen from Gurnee

❤

The Women by Kristen Hannah, so good.

You have way better grocery options than we do.

I love your videos, I'm learning a lot from you, so thank you and could I ask what bible would you recommend for beginners? Thank you so much!! ❤

I have “Fan Girl” on my Kindle to read. I’ve got so many books on my Kindle to read, I’ll never get done. Right now, I’m reading “The Rainbow Comes & Goes…”. It’s a conversation between Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper. I read a lot. I have a kindle & get free books from this website. I rarely pay for a book, but when I do, it not more than $2.99. It’s just my budget rule.

Thank you for sharing! I just ordered "Behind her eyes "and "The bookshop of second chances". I just finished a very spicy book called, "This summer will be different" by Carley Fortune." I am finishing, "Becoming Free Indeed" by Jinger Duggar Vuolo.

I just finished reading "The Women" by Kristin Hannah..........Oh My Gosh.....loved it!! I also enjoyed "The seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" I think you'll like it.

7 husbands may not be something you’d be interested in. I enjoyed reading it though. Nightingale was my favorite recently.

Read a Bitter Feast by Deborah Crombie. Really good!

yay! I love books! I haven't read as much as I used to. I could read for hours after work, never had a problem with falling asleep when reading, I have actually never understood that one! So appreciate the suggestions! I am always looking for new authors. my fav authors you probably would not like! I have been into paranormal for a while now, but am now looking for something different! jenny colgan is one that usually intersperses books into her stories. she is a light read. I read alot of Nora Roberts, but my fav is her J.D. Robb In Death series. Do you prefer male authors or female? I actually prefer female. I only like 2 male authors, Dick Francis and Robert B. Parker. I will definitely look into your suggestions. And one other thing, if you haven't price checked Alibris you might look into it. They almost always have the titles cheaper, however you will usually have to pay for shipping. worth a look! thanks for sharing! xoxo

Avid reader until eyesight messed me up now I see but my attention span sucks! Hello Fresh and Butchers Box are friends!

Please read The Women by Kristin Hannah,Look on the Bright IDE by Kristan Higgins. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez, Go as a River by Shelley Read, The Frozen River by Ariel Lawton ,

How are you choosing your books?

It’s sugar cane

So I hope this isn’t a dumb question but will 2 chicken breasts feed your family of 7 or did I miss something??

That bamboo kinda looks like sugar-cane…

Not feel guilty about reading or watching non Christian things. You can choose what is appropriate for you

3:48 That is raw sugar cane❣️🧊 Where real sugar comes from. 21:00 I am with you on not liking overly spicy romance stuff. I enjoy thrillers, but not Gory, over bloody, or too much violence.
